5400 RPM's. Torque is 324 l/f @ 3600 RPM's and 32 valve engine.

Seems like the 4.3L V6's could get 300 HP but they were rated around 190.

No turbocharger or supercharger...just a V6 or V8 outboard, four
stroke, 300 shp.

My local Yamaha dealer says he thinks in three years or so.

I'm guessing Suzuki.


You'd guess right and I heard form a normally fairly clued in type
that it's next year.


Suzuki seems the most adventurous. Doubt I'd buy one, though; the
engines seem ok, but most of the Suzuki dealerships I have seen seem
marginal. The extended warranty Suzuki gives away isn't much good if
you can't find a dealer who handles it properly and on a timely basis.



The Squeezeuki mechanic over in Rhode Island is pretty good actually.
He seems to have a real handle on four stroke outboards.

The word that I heard is that some of the 300 hp tech is coming right
from the motorcycle side of the business - small V-8 producing
horsepower via the high rev route.

Dunno - we'll see.



That's a lotta output for a truck engine; how fast is it spinning to
produce that 315 hp? I think my vehicle's engine is a little larger than
than that, but produces about 80 less hp, or something like that.
